Kayaks included FREE. Great hub to explore Central Texas. Max of 5 guests, including day guests (added nightly surcharge for 5th guest).
WATER LEVEL & FLOW As of 2/16/2026, our dam is complete!! The view of the lake is getting pretty again, and we're hoping for a full lake by May. In the meantime, fishing and kayaking should be nice, but swimming won't be ideal. The water's edge is mucky and there's still some debris working it's way downstream. But when it's full, it's stunning!

This was a great home base to check out the towns between San Antonio and Austin. And a nice relaxing home to return to at night. Hosts responded quickly to any questions.

Perfect Getaway Home
We were very impressed with all of the details that were included with our stay. My 3 year old had plenty to do inside and outside. And it was conveniently located to water, restaurants, entertainment and so much more!
The stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The area is quiet. Short drive for supplies and shopping. The home is clean. The host was helpful and friendly. Good experience.

Renee, we’re so glad you had a comfortable, enjoyable stay! Mission accomplished. We hope you’ll visit us again in the future.
We had a pleasant stay but we were visiting family nearby, and only returned to the property to shower and sleep. Beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets, thankfully.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Wooley
My husband and I ran a business in Austin for over 10 years and couldn't leave for more than a long weekend. We are both water lovers, so we started getting away for long weekends in Seguin on this chain of lakes (Guadalupe River). We fell in love and decided to buy a place for ourselves. It has turned into multiple properties that I manage, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time with our growing family. Plus, we always have a place to stay since this has become our favorite place to vacation!
Why they chose this property
We love being in, on, and near water. Living in Austin, we wanted something close enough to make an easy weekend trip for our young family to grow up making memories here. The views at Reiley Retreat are easily the best on this stretch, and it's in such a peaceful spot of Texas with all kinds of things to do nearby. We come back home after a weekend at Reiley Retreat, and it feels like a lifetime has passed.
